Physics tells us nothing of the kind. Speaker stands do not convert
vibration into heat at all. This is nonsense.

What???

When resonant is dissipated where do
you think it goes?

Resonance from where? From the speakers? Any vibration from the speaker
cabinets is going to be so small as to be unworthy of mentioning. Any
vibrations would most certainly be absorbed by the room much more than the
stands.


Naturally, you want a stand that can support the speaker weight and that
isn't likely to tip over.
Agreed.

Beyond elevating the speaker to ear level there is nothing else
significant about speaker stands.
Hehehe... oh-right!

Name the other things they do that are significant.

I would suggest you ask the same question
over on rec.audio.tech and mention the alleged vibratin to heat problem
and see what kind of response you get.

So your basis of knowledge on the subject
is what others tell you? How about doing
the work yourself, mr. Arm-chair
Commander?
